I went ahead and got the first star paint. I like it. I painted a poster of it and hung it up. I think since it is a subtle gray that looks almost white in bright light it goes fine.
plus I have darker (not too dark) grays in the two other rooms off the 2 story foyer.

I thought something off white wouldn't work well with the existing grays in the house.

the bottom part will all be white so I think that will add light and brightness. that will be in the dining room and foyer where we have these weird molding boxes.

thanks everyone for the help.
